• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

weird dreams with organs in them....

Not too long ago, I had a weird dream involving a large old tracker organ. Oddly enough, I can't remember the details right now, but many years ago, I dreamt I was in the Cathedral in Mexico City.

Someone was playing an intense and emotional piece by Bach, I think. The tempo was moderate and every now and then, small explosive charges, planted in one of the facades, would randomly go off. Of course, I was horrified.

Years later, I learned Flentrop restored the organ/organs after a fire.

Any of you ever have weird organ dreams? I'm sure some have. Interested in your stories.

Must have been one of Bach's canons! But seriously, I do dream about organs, and I'm fascinated by dreams in general and I recently started a thread in the Open Debate Forum. I wanted to find out if people believe dreams can predict the future. I found weak evidence for this in some dreams I recorded. Your dream is rather similar - it didn't come true in detail, but there is an obvious connection between a building being on fire and small explosions happening from time to time. One of my wierdest organ dreams was when I found myself operating a machine which was part organ and part lawnmower!! I'm also quite a good improviser in my dreams - and useless at improvising in real life.

I never dreamed of organ playing but I have many times had a dream
with a piano in it with no one to play it and I have to figure out how
to play the song on this piano. Unless harmonicas count as organs
in dreams. I did dream of playing one of those.
